Fox Has No Malicious Intent

"Received, please maintain signal stability. The estimated transport team will arrive within twenty minutes."

Lord Fenrir's physical suit beast is very useful, knocking out the self-proclaimed Dragon King giant salamander. The Monkey King glanced and decisively called the logistics support personnel, asking them to prepare a medical transport team based on the data he provided.

After receiving the Monkey King's mobilization, the logistics sent out two aircraft in total.

One was a heavy transport aircraft, and the other a heavy drone equipped with a hive mission pod system.

One went to carry out the rescue mission, while the other went to Ba Mountain Sky Pit for intelligence gathering and to block the area internally, preventing uninformed adventurers or media exploration teams from going deeper.

If the intelligence is truly as reported by the Monkey King, the island-like isolated primitive ecological forest at the bottom of the original Sky Pit might genuinely harbor unknown human dangers.

From the southern slope to the Hanzhong area, numerous karst landscape Sky Pits exist.

They range from depths of a hundred meters to over three hundred meters. Some shallow areas have already been developed into popular attractions.

The Sky Pit location reported by the Monkey King, according to geological team records from last century, should be over three hundred meters deep with plains, peaks, caves, and dark river landscapes at the bottom.

This Sky Pit's interior environment is complex and lacks any resources worthy of excavation, thus has never been developed.

"Boom——"

The operation proceeded in an orderly manner, with logistics support members starting to gather Sky Pit intelligence, preparing documents to be filed under the "Qinling Anomaly" directory.

However, a shrill noise and bursts of electrical sounds from the streaming monitor interrupted all logistics work.

A drone deep in the Sky Pit was hit by an unknown creature and destroyed.

"Boom——"

A streak of light flashed across the sky, several drones shattered simultaneously, and the streaming screen showed signal loss with harsh electrical noises.

"It seems like... a humanoid creature?" asked the office worker in the logistics support group, struck with awe.

Inside the large rectangular office, no one answered his question.

"Contact the drone command center immediately and request HD images."

"Group 2, create a file and upload the incident here to the intranet, notify Principal Li to come over."

The scheduling director's face turned grim, realizing something, promptly informing Li Wenkang and applying to relevant departments for the original image, trying to sketch out the humanoid creature visible in the footage.

The fleeting shadow in the image is definitely not human.

Yet it's humanoid, and within the Security Bureau, such creatures are defined as "Primordial Beings".

Under the catalysis of spiritual particles, they have already removed the accumulated garbage code from the evolutionary process, revealing the "Primordial Gene" from cosmic depths.

But these are only theoretical matters.

Currently, no real "Primordial Beings" exist in any surviving species or research institutes worldwide.

If a "Wild Primordial Being" appears and communication fails,

then... it must be an evil alien, certainly needing to be lured to the desert and fed two hydrogen bombs.

"......."

The scheduling director, full of wild thoughts, maintained outward calm, quietly awaiting Li Wenkang's arrival.

...

And the discovery by Chang'an Security Bureau, due to its significance, was directly sealed off.

Even Lord Fenrir and the Monkey King involved received no notification.

Lord Fenrir lounged in a vine basket, leisurely crossing his legs, called for a return, letting the plant protection drone take him back to the observation camp.

However.

Upon approaching the camp, Ansheng saw a peculiar scene from the plant protection drone's controller.

The students all rushed into the mountains.

Even professors who didn't originally plan to participate in mountain activities, staying at the homestay camp, hurriedly followed forest rangers into the mountains.

"Did something happen?"

Ansheng operated the drone to land and found the Snake Woman sighing at the camp gate, asking."

"Lord Fenrir..."

Seeing the plant protection drone land, the Snake Woman greeted waving, rubbed her throbbing head, sighing deeply:

"How should I put it?"

"The climate of Qinling's southern slope is a very unique transitional climate, similar to Yunnan province, where it's spring all year round, with no distinct seasonal changes..."

"Mushrooms are abundant here, and every year, the Qinling Mountain Treasure Festival is held to promote the mushroom industry," stated the Snake Woman meaningfully.

"....and then?"

Ansheng, listening, tilted his head, puzzled by the connection between the southern slope climate and mushroom industry promotion with the faculty and students rushing into the mountains.

"School of Animal Science students saw wild bananas, after eating, acted like monkeys, making strange calls and swinging on vines," Snake Woman explained to Lord Fenrir, describing the events, her face lined with exasperation.

Ansheng's mouth twitched: "...."

Are you sure the bananas they ate were wild bananas and not some strange mushrooms?

Food consumed by humans generally underwent ancestral selection or targeted hybrid cultivation.

Recklessly eating wild plants or animals carries numerous unforeseen risks.

Those students swinging on vines thinking they're eating bananas might actually see bananas contaminated unpredictably in such a complex, humid environment.

Despite professors from both institutions repeatedly stressing not to consume forest items before observation activities,

some students couldn't resist the craving.

And their craving ultimately resulted in losing the mating privileges during their schooling years.

"By the way, you mentioned those students swinging on vines. Are they all from the School of Animal Science?"

Thinking of cravings, Ansheng instinctively asked Snake Woman, "No female students from the Agricultural Research Institute, right?"

"Nope, Agricultural Research Institute students in the afternoon were dutifully attending drone classes. School of Animal Science students went mountain climbing to set traps for wild boars." Snake Woman replied.

"That's good," Ansheng sighed in relief.

With both institutions' faculty and students collaboratively roaming the mountains, hallucinated students were quickly caught.

One turned into a monkey, flying through trees.

One squatted on the ground observing a Lilliput world.

One hugged a big tree, confessing deeply, while muttering incomprehensible sweet nothings.

Ansheng didn't join the school's group activities, leisurely returning home to open the air conditioner and TV, comfortably settling on the sofa, switching to the movie channel.

And when dusk arrived,

The homestay's door opened.

"Whimper whimper whimper——"

A whimpering fox sound made Ansheng freeze, climbing off the sofa, poking his head out, seeing Ah Qing holding three red foxes, smiling brightly.

"Whimper?" Ansheng silently questioned.

"Ansheng! Look! I found three little foxes on the mountain!" Ah Qing cheerfully brought the foxes to Ansheng:

"But it's unfortunate, they're National second-grade red foxes and can't be domesticated. Once the forestry officials arrive, we have to send them away...."
